Gunde Rosenkrantz 1655 - 1659

This 17th-century engraving by Albert Haelwegh depicts Gunde Rosenkrantz, a Danish nobleman. The image is a bust portrait of Rosenkrantz, showing him in a high-collared, dark garment. The artwork's inscription identifies him as "Dr. Winding," a Senator of the Kingdom of Denmark. The engraving, created between 1655-1659, captures Rosenkrantz's distinguished appearance, likely commissioned to commemorate his service to the Danish monarchy. The meticulous detail and realistic rendering are typical of Haelwegh's engraving style, a prominent art form during this era.
